The full title of this necessary book is 1968 : Radical Italian Furniture: Photographs by Maurizio Cattelan & Pieropaolo Ferrari. Tonight I attended a talk between alpha collector Dakis Joannou and creative director Dennis Freedman that was moderated by Felix Burrichter, editor of Pin-Up magazine. 1968 grew out of the common obsession that Dakis & Dennis hold for this period in Italian Furniture. Dakis read aloud a list of the significant events recorded in 1968: from moon expeditions to Stanford accepting women, and the last voyage of a steam train among many other seminal events from that paramount year he noted that the evolution of society as we know it today and it's ties to that one year are why the book holds the title it does. All three men were beyond charming and engaging and the book is one for the library for sure.Purchase here: 1968
